Game of Thrones Costars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie Confirm Their Real-Life Romance

Speculation has abounded for a few seasons now (hello, onscreen chemistry!), but Game of Thrones costars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie confirmed their offscreen romance at the glamorous Olivier Awards in London today.

The ridiculously good-looking couple played Jon Snow (Harington) and Ygritte (Leslie) on the show.

The road to romance has been a little rocky (just as it was in the show, to say the least): They were connected in 2012, but it fizzled out later in the year—until they rekindled the romance in January (apparently they’re really good at keeping things under wraps).

But reports of PDA were buzzing, and costar Emilia Clarke had this to say about them on Entertainment Tonight:

“You know, we like to spread the love on our show. It’s a beautiful thing,” she said. “She’s one of my best friends, so it’s good. I mean, there are worse things than being caught kissing Jon Snow!”

This is very true.
